Architectural details, custom millwork and a soothing neutral palette bring distinctive character to this popular Lazio floor plan in Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch. The light-filled, open layout is enhanced by tray ceilings, crown molding and tile flooring throughout, while expansive windows draw the eye toward tranquil pond views. Offering three bedrooms, three baths and a private office, the residence provides each bedroom with a dedicated bath, creating privacy for owners and guests.

The kitchen adds its own sense of style with linen-colored French Provincial cabinetry, a generous granite island with cabinetry on both sides, pull-out storage, wall ovens, a new dishwasher and a window above the sink that welcomes natural light. The primary suite includes an outfitted closet with built-ins, while a separate laundry room provides additional cabinetry.
